Philadelphia News.
''HOw can | get that man arrested?"
asked woman wearing a plain black
suit and black hat, over which was
drawn blue veil, to a Philadelphia
gentleman as he hurried by the lamp
post at the southeast corner of Eleventh
and Marble streets, last evening. AS
she spoke she pointed to the retreating
figure of man who was lImping down
towards Tenth street,
''What has he dOne?"
''He picked my pockets not a second
ago."
The gentleman lost not a moment,
and an instant later he had graSped the
man by the arm. The latter turned as
he felt the touch on the arm, and asked
with slight foreign accent, ''What is
the matter?'
'sThis lady says you picked her
pocket" replied the citiZen-policeman
Indicating the lady, who had meanwhile
come up with the pair.
''Sirr' came the indignant eXcla-
nation. Thena moment of pause, and
later a sneering smile, and the words,
"YOu are at liberty to search me, SIR"
There was something in the smile
that was not quite frank, and an inves-
tigatiOn was made. The alleged thief
held up his hands and facilitated the
examination of his pockets with the ut
most GOODNESS. As the gentleman
reached the trousers pocket he noticed,
in feeling for the lost wallet, that the
man had wooden leg, Immediately
he was led-though by this time he
showed fight-tO the steps at the rear
of the theater. While the gentleman
held him the woman examined the
wooden leg. At the first tap it was
found to be hallOw. Out came pocket
knife, and the straps which held on the
leg were cut. A small door at the bot
tom was opened and diamond ring, a
small watch with the monogram A. c.
K. and the missing pOcket-book rolled
out.
''You watch him. said the gentle
man, and he went off for policeman.
He had not noticed that the excitement
had caused the woman, who sat near by,
to faint. He turned at the corner of
that the thief had left the door open.
Hurrying back, he found that the fellow
had hoped out of sight. The leg,
which was left behind him, was ex-
amined when he had restored the faint
ing woman, and it was found to be
twenty-seyen inches long, made of
maple wood, securely braced at inter
walls with steel bands.
At the top was slit large enough to
admit any small packages. 1t was
lined with chamois and padded with cot
ton. The pickpocket was dressed in
tall black silk hat, blue frOck coat and
light pantaIoons. He wore patent leath-
er shoes. as the one left on the wooden
leg showed.

THE JURY DISAGREED.
No Verdict in the Case Against
Edwards for Shooting Officer
ROeniSch

No Verdict in the Case Against
Edwards for Shooting Officer
Roenisch.
At $50 last evening Judge Kelly and
a small group of attOr neyS, officers and
newspaper men gathered in the district
court room to hear the verdict in the
. Edwards case. 1t was announced that
the jury would not come out till 9, and
during the interim the small audience
amused themselves telling stories and
wiping the thick layers of dust from the
tables with their coat sleeves. The
prisoner was the only quiet one in the
room, sitting back against the rail, his
chin resting on his hand, his favoritc at
titude during the trial.
At O'Clock the jury filed in and an
nounced that it had not agreed upon a
verdict. The judge asked the members
if they had tried all possible meaIS to
settle their differences and they replied
in the affirmative. saying they had dis
agreed on point of fact. Accordingly
they were discharged after being out
since Saturday noon. The report read
ten for conviction and two for acquttal.
The jurors looked rather haggard and
said they had managed to amuSe them
selves by little games and i'll various
other ways.
Edwards was taken back TO jail where
he will remain until his next trial. The
circumstances of the case were that he
attended aSunday picnic at BanholZer'S
grove last July, and becoming boiS-

ENEMIES OF GOD.
Father ShanIey Defined Several
Glasses in His Sermon Yester-
day.

Father Stanley Defined Several
Glasses in His Sermon Yester-
day.
Father Stanley preached the sermon
yesterday at the cathedral high mass,
taking for his text these words:
For many walk of whom l have told you
often (and now tell you weeping) that they
are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end
is destruction, whose God is their belly, and
whose glory is i'll their shame, who mind
earthly things.
He said: What was true in st. Paul's
day is alike true to-day. and the words
addressed to the faithful PHILIPPIANS as
a warning to them may be truthfully
spoken to the faithful in this century.
For there are many at the present time
who are enemies of the cross of Christ,
who abandon the lessons of virtue
which Christ taught the world, who re-
! ject the positive doctrines left to them
who follow their own will and become
slaves to their own passions. They are
enemies of the cross of Christ, and their
| end is destruction. The cross of Christ
referred to by the apostle is Christ him
| self. The enemies of the cross are the
| enemies of Christ, all those who live in
| opposition to His commands and seek to
undo the work of His church. Every
! sinner is an enemy of Christ. 1t is true
! our blessed Lord loves all men because
! they are creatures of His own creation,
! but He looks with hatred on sin. Sin
! of itself is mere abstract term, and
! has Specification only as it becomes con-
| crete III the subject, so that then the
sinner may with truth be said TO be an
enemy of Jesus Christ, and our Savior
looks upon him with hatred.
1t would not be difficult to-day to find
such enemies as were alluded to by the
| apostle. There is no society of men i'm
/ which this foul monster has not made
! inrOadS. There is no community in
i which the passions do not reign. The
! Christian world is divided into those
who accept the doctrines of Christ in
their entirety, those WHO reject Il part of
| ChriStS teachings and unbelieve:S. In
THE INFIDEL PORTION
of society we do not look for Christian
virtues. They possess mostly the na-
tural virtues, and when Christian virtue
| exists among them it is merely acciden-
| tai. In the uon-Catholie divisions of
the world we do not look for exalted
| Catholic virtue, and do not expect them
| to live according to Catholic teachings.
! But there is another division of the
| Christian family, vast body. who be-
! long to the Catholic church. And il we
look for perfection i'll any part of the
world. ii we expect TO find friends of
Christ, certainly we should find them in
the Catholic body. And we do find many

manned standing the greater part of the
time taken up by the services. The
decorations were tasty and beautiful III
the extreme, The altar was surrounded
with pillars Of moss roses entwlned
with green leaves, while here and there
were numerous house plants. On q
small table to the left of the altar was
a magnificent anchor made up OF roses,
geraniumS and other flowers, entWlned
with smilaX. Over the entrance

sented him with the keys of the church,
after which the dedicatOry services were
performed by Bishop Brown, assisted
by Rev. J. NJ. Henderson, the pastor of
the church. Rev. Gray, of the Pilgrim
church. and others. The Pilgrim COM

Pioneer lodge were each represented by
about thirty-tiVe men in full regalla.
These organizations occupied the front
seats in the church.
After the dedicatory services by
Bishop Brown, the pastor, Rev. J. NJ.

briefly recounting the history OF the
church and the condition of the finances.
